There is a bone in your ankle. It's called the talus. It, with the help of some tendons and muscles, is pretty much the bone that connects your leg to your foot. It sits on top of your foot and your tibia and fibula (the leg bones) rest on it ( Read more... )

Ow-- I hope it mends! :(

It will mend as soon as I get off my ass and go back to physiotherapy for it. I plan to get off my ass this coming day. It always takes really hurting it again to give me that push.

boooooooo! That sucks man. Are you on your reading week now?

_spinningplates February 23 2006, 13:57:48 UTC

No, reading week was last week. At least I'm not limping through that.

Lets make a correction here...he sprained his ankle in his first year yes. He then promptly waited almost an entire year to seek treatment, adjusting his walk to compromise for the pain, and this adjustment is what caused the bone to slip out of place.

I'm not kissing your feet anymore.

Just to make a further correction, as Jess may have inadvertently made it sound like JW is some sort of He-Man play-through-the-pain tough guy: though he did wait an entire year to seek treatment, he still totally whined about it all the time.

I'd just like to clarify a little bit here. I am totally a He-Man play-through-the-pain tough guy. When I'm actually playing sports. Sure I whined about it a lot, but everybody does once the game's over and the adrenaline stops. Had Matt been there and seen me play, he'd undoubtedly have said "Wow, that is on He-Man play-throug-the-pain tough guy."
